Watch: Zhou Qi shows off his range

Watch: Zhou Qi shows off his range

Houston fans are already salivating at the potential of their new seven-foot-one big man Zhou Qi. Zhou came over from China this past summer after winning the Chinese Basketball Association’s Defensive Player of the Year award. He was originally selected by the Rockets in the second round of the 2016 NBA Draft and sports a ridiculous wingspan somewhere around seven-feet-eight-inches. He’s already displaying his top-notch shot-blocking ability and even shown his mobility running up and down the floor for dunks on fastbreaks. One other thing we’ve started seeing is Zhou’s range from deep – he has a consistent jumper and has actually been rotating around picks to take the three ball both in games and in practice. Below is a video of Zhou hitting a three in Saturday’s open practice.
